Erika Ranee
While working on large paintings for her current solo show My Saturn Return at Klaus Gallery, Erika Ranee created a series of small canvases, a part of her practice that is continuously experimental.
The works shown here reflect the same layered vibrancy as her larger pieces, with each new layer responding to the one beneath—sometimes by adding new elements, other times by cutting back to reveal hidden marks.
My favorite moment with a painting is at the very beginning. No overthinking allowed—just pouring.

Inquire
Ranee’s show gorgeously confounds our expectations with a type of abstraction that is lush, generous, and utterly hard-won.
— Greg Lindquist, Artforum, 2023
[Ranee’s] knowledge is of a painter who is versed in her medium and her own process. It is clear when looking at the surfaces of these paintings, she understands her work and the flow of her studio practice.

Sidelined at P.P.O.W.
Ranee recently had two paintings included in Sidelined at P.P.O.W. gallery in New York. This exhibition was born out of conversations with the painter Judith Linhares, who had a concurrent solo show at the gallery.
Material Girl at Athens Cultural Center
Lisa Corinne Davis has included Ranee’s work into Material Girl, a group show of self-identifying women artists united by their fascination with the physicality of paint. At the heart of this exhibition lies an emphasis on the physical presence and sensory experience of paint, while voice is given to historically powerful female perspectives.
